Harry was in Professor McGonagall's office again, drinking tea and eating biscuits. Minerva was glad that the young boy was visiting her office from time to time to keep her company.

"Professor?" Harry asked as he finished his tea.

"Yes?" Minerva said as she looked up from her 3rd year's work that she was looking over.

"How many students does it take to change a light bulb?"

"I don't know."

"One Gryffindor who's brave enough to go up the ladder, two Hufflepuffs to hold the ladder, a Slytherin who is watching the mess that they had created and a Ravenclaw pointing out that they could have just used magic." Harry said proudly.

••A Few Moments Later••

By that time, McGonagall had heard so many jokes that she was crying of laughter. Harry was laughing along knowing how stupid they all sounded. Harry believed that Minerva's personal favourite had to be:
"Why did the chicken cross the road?"
"I don't know"
"To get to the other side. Knock knock."
"Who's there?"
"The chicken"

It was so stupid that it was funny. Harry smiled cheekily at the older woman in front of him who smiled back still in tears. By the time that they had both calmed down from the laughter, they had both finished their tea and biscuits.

"Thank you Harry, you really do know how to make an old woman like me laugh." Minerva stated.

"It's really no problem, Professor. It's nice seeing you so happy." Harry replied cheerfully.

"It's getting late. You should go back to your dormitory."

"Alright. I will. Thank you for the tea and biscuits." Harry said as he stood.

He left Minerva's office and went to the Gryffindor tower as he smiled to himself, proudly, that he could make his Transfiguration professor laugh.
